Just one stupid negative comment.

"Another good boy that the police planted a gun on?" :shock:


My favorite.

"I wonder if this guy will be arrested like Mr. Zimmerman was. I hope not." Second that.
"Lord, make me fast and accurate.Let my aim be true and my hand faster than those who would seek to destroy me.
Grant me victory over my foes and those that wish to do harm to me and mine.Let not my last thought be "If I only had my gun"

Fail, indeed.

Very poor victim selection is becoming more and more common - I really think these guys should find another line of work

I have to wonder if a massive failure in the victim selection process is becoming more common or if it's just being reported more?

I think that more people are arming themselves not just because they're realizing that the police do not have a duty to protect you, but because of these uncertain and difficult times. Maybe the criminals just haven't adjusted to changes necessary in their victim selection process? :lol:

Very simple, uncomplicated, and straight-forward: the predator selected the wrong prey.

My guess is it has more to do with the ease of access to information.

I came for the story but stayed for the comments. Seriously, some of those comments on the link are hilarious. xD

I can't quote it here, but Fox had a hit piece on their mobile web site about more "Stand Your Ground" killings in the last few years than normal.

That you can expect to survive (legally) is probably the reason. But they didn't mention that. Getting screwed over, like Zimmerman, used to be the usual result, and still can be....

(Why do those who claim to wish to protect me feel that the best way to do that is to disarm me?)

The planted gun comment was intended to be sarcasm, I think.
